This <s>possibly soon deleted</s> thread is coming about thanks to Nemein's idea for it in this thread (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/615767-any-interest-year-long-movie-challenge.html) and my date-specific OCD.

How does it work? What's the plan here? I have almost no idea!

But I'm watching one or two New Year specific things today, so it made me think of his idea. I'm not trying to steal his thunder, but just wanted to make sure the thread got started on the first. I'll delete/defer if desired.

[Edit by nemein: <b> If we get enough people before the end of Jan (say two pages of placeholders) I'll go ahead and stick the thread.</b> Feel free to keep the thread alive though, even it if is not stuck by continue to posting/commenting. So it might be a bit of a mess w/ lists and comments intermixed, but we'll see how it goes.

"Rules" The basic challenge is to watch a movie/TV show that is somehow tied into the specific day you are watching. This could be either something in the movie/show itself; the majority of the action takes place on that particular day, or for example a historical movie/documentary where there is a significant event for that particular day (even if the movie encompasses more days). Alternatively, it could be something about the movie/show itself; watch it on the release date, the birthday of one of the major actors/actresses, etc...

The ultimate goal would be to watch something a day, to help w/ this (for those that do it) you are highly encouraged to blend this in w/ the other monthly challenges. Probably a more realistic goal would be to pick a day within each week of the year (Sun to Sat or Mon to Sun... however you count your weeks) for a total of 52 movies/shows.

Record what you watched, and the date/reason it was picked.

Here's some resources that may help:

There are NO prizes for this challenge.

Why don't we simply post what we wish we could watch everyday if we had the time, energy and magical access to every film that was ever made?
Like this:

Final edit I did it, 365 for 365; but am much too lazy to search through my various digital viewing histories and IMDB birthdays to complete the list. Never again. Doing this was the worst idea ever.

Personally, given the low number of participants in this, and the leniency we've been migrating to in all the Challenges, I'd vote for movies and TV.

nemein

I don't see why not. Although it does bring up an interesting idea for another challenge. A complete series in order. Watch an episode a night, come back and discuss....

I just meant I'd delete it if no one joined me or if Nemein wanted to start the thread.

I'm kind of excited about it now, but I always am about 'resolutions and checklists' this time of year.

Watching something everyday that ties in to that specific date will be a nice challenge with a lot of variety. And watching something everyday will help me feel justified in having a DVD collection and cable/Netflix subscriptions.

One thing that might be useful is if we try to tell each other ahead of time what we're watching, so as to give each other good ideas.

I'm finishing of The Passion of Joan of Arc right now, as today is her traditional birthday. It's also my daughter's birthday, perhaps some home videos are in the queue.

True, but it's also the TV Challenge, so I recommend:

The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, S1E1, 1950 - Amazon Instant Prime Free Streaming - This was perhaps my first time viewing an entire episode. I wish I hadn't had waited so long, as it was hilarious.

^ Very helpful, Travis. Thanks! I've given some thought about planning ahead, but have been winging it so far. I usually sit down at some point late in the evening and start looking at the next day and what event, birthday or anniversary coordinates with something in my unwatched pile.

2/2 is Super Bowl Sunday: The Sum of All Fears, Black Sunday, etc.
Good call, although I think watching the actual Super Bowl will be my viewing for that day.

Today's birthdays include Betty White and Andy Kaufman.

I don't think any of the following are about the Super Bowl per se, but they are about football and also qualify for the Academy Award Challenge.

Crazylegs (1953) nominated for Best Editing
Good News (1947) nominated for Best Song
Heaven Can Wait (1978) nominated for 9 awards; won for Best Art/Set Direction
How to Play Football (1944) nominated for Best Animated Short

I'm out! I had hoped if I stuck to sitcoms and shorts I could squeeze something in each day and maybe last the whole year. I fell woefully short.

I'm still hooked on the novelty of this Challenge, and keeping it fairly light with mostly 30 minute episodes. I'm sure I'll forget about it and miss a midnight deadline eventually, but I'm at 100% so far.

Cardsfan111

01-29-14, 10:04 PM

Perhaps you can still jump back in from time to time. So far, I've managed to find something each day that fits. There is absolutely no way I can do the entire year. Too many times over the next 11 months that I'll be on the road and/or away from home to make it work.

It's not been too difficult this month. The brutal weather has eliminated the desire for much outdoor activity. In some ways, this challenge is easier than any of the monthly ones since it's not about watching tons of stuff, but rather one item, which doesn't even have to be feature-film length, as you mentioned.

Cardsfan111

02-03-14, 09:14 PM

Since my main focus has been on unwatched material from my media pile/DVR, I don't know if I'll check it out, but The Social Network would be a perfect fit tomorrow since Facebook will be celebrating 10 years since Mark Zuckerberg founded it.

I'm aiming for that today as well, but don't think I'll have time due to work and ice. So I watched something short with Alice Cooper just now to cover the date.

I finally had my first hiccup last week and didn't watch anything applicable for the day. After a long day with little free time, I found myself in bed about 11:30. For a brief moment, I remembered this challenge. I envisioned the following conversation with my wife.

Me: I have to get up and go watch something Peanuts-related.
Her: What? Why?
Me: Charles Schultz died on this day 14 years ago and it's almost midnight.
Her: Huh?

I just couldn't do it. Then I took the next day off as well.

I've had similar conversations and seen a lot of head shaking this year.

I applaud you all for keeping up w/ it... I couldn't even track a weekly version of it. Not sure how you all do the monthly challenges all the time. Good luck to everyone who can keep up w/ it though.

What is the ruling on watching something a day late? I watched Nightmare On Elm Street 3 on Feb 28, when the Feb 27 was the 27th Anniversary of it's theatrical release.

Is there a couple day's leeway or do we forfeit that entry if we can't get to it on the exact day?

I feel that sometimes too. This Challenge is almost the easiest, in that one could argue that even a YouTube scene from a movie or trailer of any actor on their birthday would count.

Not really my call, but I'd say try to fudge it. Did it premiere in any country on the 28th? Did anyone on the cast or crew have a birthday or death on the 28th?

So deciding on doing this Challenge was my worst idea ever. I did it, 365 for 365; but the slight satisfaction in the 'accomplishment' does not compensate for crazy daily OCD chore it became. Never again.

Congrats on doing it. You're a better man than I am Gunga Din.

Congrats Trevor! I thought you were crazy to do this and it's now confirmed! :lol:

Did you at least watch your wedding video on 11/11? It just occurred to me that I totally forgot to throw out *congrats* that day!

Thanks everyone, but I would have preferred you forcibly stopped me last January.

And I tried to Bob, and thanks, but I didn't find the DVD until later in the month. But hopefully it's still within sight for the next time Jen wants to watch it.

I think I got in like three or four daily-themed viewings over the whole year.

I'm pondering a challenge of my own, but can't narrow down what I want to do, or get the motivation to actually start it.

I think the bigger question is, how easy of a habit was it to quit? Are you pretty much over and done w/ it, or do you still get that nagging feeling there is something you're supposed to do today?
